After Xie Hongtao left, Cao Hongyun also calmed down.
After all, a guilty conscience needs no accuser.
Although driving a tricycle is really profitable.
Of course, Cao Hongyun was completely bewildered when Lu Xingtao approached him and proposed a partnership to develop tricycles.
Even the richest young masters in the capital can't squander their money like this.
Why do you have to drive a tricycle when there are so many other things to do?
Before Qimingxing tricycles became famous, tricycles were synonymous with trash.
Even dogs wouldn't like it.
But Lu Xingtao said, "If you won't do it, I'll find someone else."
He seemed too lazy to say anything more or waste his breath.
This left Cao Hongyun puzzled.
Fortunately, the initial funding was provided by Lu Xingtao, so I didn't lose anything and it also gave Lu Xingtao face.
Secondly, if it succeeds, it's much better than fighting in the tractor industry.
It should be noted that at that time, leading brands in the tractor industry, such as Dongfanghong and YTO Group, were firmly in the lead.
I've also heard that foreign-owned agricultural machinery is about to officially enter the mainland market, which will make it even harder for them to survive.
After careful consideration, Cao Hongyun agreed to Lu Xingtao's cooperation.
Subsequently, Lu Xingtao paid for a tricycle and told Cao Hongyun to imitate it one-to-one.
Cao Hongyun was initially worried that this would constitute infringement.
Lu Xingtao directly divided the production into two stages: one was semi-finished products, which were then taken away and painted elsewhere.
In addition, Lu Xingtao had considerable influence, so Cao Hongyun didn't interfere much.
Afterwards, he made a fortune and almost completely forgot about the infringement.
Now, trouble is brewing.
Cao Hongyun felt it was best to ask Lu Xingtao for help, just in case something unexpected happened. No matter how much money you make, you need to be alive to spend it.
Once inside, there's nowhere to spend the money.
Cao Hongyun made a phone call to Lu Xingtao.
He recounted how the morning star had come to his door.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a calm voice said, "Don't panic, I have a trump card. Even if Wu Changfeng is a powerful outsider, he'll have to crawl on his knees!"
"Let me know when that lawyer comes over; I'd like to have a good talk with him."
Seeing Lu Xingtao's confidence, Cao Hongyun felt relieved. If he could get the naming sorted out, he would be set for life!
Having connections is really awesome!
He couldn't help but sigh.
On the other side.
After leaving Hongyun Tractor Factory, Xie Hongtao came to the village where tricycles were painted.
The village is small, but deep inside it, there is a newly built factory.
Upon closer inspection, you can smell the paint odor emanating from the air.
Inside, there were some workers doing spray painting, and trucks were towing complete replica tricycles in and out.
Xie Hongtao stayed in the village for a few more days.
By chatting with workers after get off work, even offering them meals, drinks, cigarettes, and alcohol, he finally managed to glean some information.
This factory was invested in by someone from Beijing.
The village provides labor for the work.
In later generations, spray painting became a skilled trade.
But at this time, as long as you're not blind, you can do it.
After all, people in this era don't care much about appearance; they value product durability more.
As long as it's durable, even if it's ugly as a flower, it will still sell well.
These workers only saw the people coming from the capital from afar.
The village chief calls him Mr. Lu.
I don't know the specific name.
Judging from his appearance, he must be an official with a higher rank than the village chief.
The last sentence startled Xie Hongtao.
official?
Were any officials involved?
This is really troublesome.
In Xie Hongtao's mind, if it were just a businessman investing, everything would be easy.
However, once officials are involved, the potential impact must be carefully considered.
They might even have to suffer in silence.
Although Xie Hongtao knew that Wu Changfeng also knew officials, it was not the same thing at all.
When personal interests are not involved, whether you're watching a show or helping someone, it's all about saving face.
Once you get involved, you're finished.
Those in higher positions should also be mindful of the influence between officials; most are unlikely to strongly support Wu Changfeng.
To be honest, after investigating this far, even though he didn't know Mr. Lu's name, Xie Hongtao was completely at a loss.
This is beyond my ability to handle.
Although Wu Changfeng gave him the authority to handle the matter.
But faced with such a crucial matter, Xie Hongtao decided to stop, report the situation, and let Wu Changfeng make the decision first.
So, Xie Hongtao took some time to call Qimingxing back.
After receiving the call, Wu Changfeng listened to Xie Hongtao's report.
He frowned immediately and asked in an annoyed tone, "You said people in the capital have the surname Lu?"
"Yes, the surname I found out is Lu." Xie Hongtao said, holding the phone, "Boss, why don't you use your connections to find out who this person is? After all, he's from the capital, which naturally puts him three levels above locals. This could stir up a hornet's nest."
"Damn it!" Wu Changfeng said viciously, "Don't listen to the workers' nonsense. I know this guy surnamed Lu. He's not an official at all; he's just a dung beetle!"
"It's just disgusting. We've disliked each other for a long time, and we've fought several times. He always comes out worse for me, so he's been targeting me!"
"People like Lu are psychologically abnormal. They feel bored when they don't have a rival, but when they do, they get defeated repeatedly. In the end, all they can do is resort to petty theft, and they seem to enjoy it. They're just like a piece of chewing gum!"
"A nobody from Beijing who relies on his family's wealth and power. To not despise him is to look down on his character. He's a bastard."
